Radeon VII (VEGA 20)

Very impressive results! I might have been a bit harsh when this came out... It might be a tweakers dream card, some blocks from say EK really might open it up more. Looks like they have progressed quite well on the tables and power. I wonder if these will be what to expect from water or if some lottery luck.

Yes well pay 1200 and then add a few hundred for water cooling ... costly exercise (ignoring time spend modding the thing)

Yea, the time tweaking/modding is the best part! It is as much fun as using it for gaming and productivity to me I probably have done more side grades than most people, as long as I can get in it for nearly even, because I want to play with something new and see how it performs.. Hell, I know for the most part how it will perform, I just want to play. If it costs me $50 to side grade for a new card or part after owning the old part for a year and has relative close performance, its like buying a new single player campaign game lol...

Side note, my MB died.. Pissed me off wanted it to last till the new x570 boards released... I picked up a C7H board and Im playing with ram timings since it has much better options (like built in Stilts timings in the bios)... Ill post some results once I get everything benched/tested in the other thread we had going for ram timings.. So far all my synthetic scores are up over the Biostar, even up over when I had 1700x even thou I have 2600x now... Bios is quite good and stable

When overclocked it seems to have higher 1% and .1% lows compared with 2080 and 2080Ti. That's pretty important for those who like their refresh rates, and it's a good measure of a graphics cards' capability.

would that put too much pressure on only one side of the hbm, it might chip the edge? Just seems like it would be difficult to lap to have a step up over hbm. If lapped enough, possibly a thermal pad over the hbm and normal tim on the block... Maybe tape off the hbm portion on the block to ensure it is an even step.
